Willy Spiller - Hell On Wheels

Willy Spiller - Hell On Wheels

First published in 1984, photographer Willy Spillers scenes from New
Yorks notoriously crime-ridden subway system retrospectively tell a
different story, one of glitz and colour, curiosity and amusement. Today
we can look back at his images with a more objective feeling, finding
not the sensationalism, danger, and voyeurism proclaimed by the media at
the time, but rather the fascination of this young European newcomer to
the Big Apple with its people, neon lights, movement, and relentless
energy. Captured on Kodachrome slide film, Spillers visions of the citys
sordid underground transportation system fall right in line with other
pioneers who first documented New York in colour.
